1. Chicago Moving to 'Smart' Surveillance Cameras
>From The New York Times (Topic: Security), Sept. 21:
(Registration Required)
A highly advanced system of video surveillance that Chicago
officials plan to install by 2006 will make people here some
of the most closely observed in the world. Mayor Richard M.
Daley says it will also make them much safer.

2. The ABCs of VoIP
>From Business Week (Topic: VoIP), Sept. 21:
Just a few years ago, only tech geeks and a few hobbyists
made phone calls over the Internet. Now, Net telephony is
starting to find widespread acceptance among consumers and
corporate customers alike. The technology is taking off
despite its clumsy name: VoIP, short for voice over Internet
protocol. The U.S. alone already has 500,000 residential
users, and that market could grow to 16.5 million by 2008,
according to analyst Jon Arnold of consultant Frost &
Sullivan.

3. AOL Moves Beyond Passwords for Log-ons
>From MSNBC.com (Topic: AOL), Sept. 21:
Passwords alone won't be enough to get onto America Online
under a new, optional log-on service that makes AOL the
first major U.S. online business to offer customers a second
layer of security.

4. Viruses Aimed at Microsoft Rise Sharply-Symantec
>From Reuters (Topic: Microsoft), Sept. 20:
The number of new viruses and worms aimed at Microsoft
Corp.'s ubiquitous Windows operating system rose 400 percent
between January and June from the same year-earlier period,
leading computer security company Symantec said on Sunday.

5. The Next Threat
>From Forbes (Topic: Security), Sept. 20:
Jason Laren is a master hacker. He sports the de rigueur
black shirt, black slacks, glasses and ponytail. A
31-year-old programmer at the secretive Idaho National
Engineering & Environmental Laboratory in Idaho Falls, he
obsesses about the ways in which a terrorist intruder might
go online and trip circuit breakers on the electrical grid
or open valves at chemical storage tanks.

6. Sun Looks to Wall Street in a Comeback Bid
>From The New York Times (Topic: Sun), Sept. 20:
(Registration Required)
Standing before 30 executives from a Wall Street investment
banking customer, Jonathan Schwartz, the 38-year-old
software executive who is trying to revive the foundering
computer company Sun Microsystems, acknowledged why his
company was in trouble. "What happened three years ago is
that you became bitter and cynical," he said to the
executives from the financial services industry, which has
long been Sun's bread and butter. Sun once was widely
respected as a technology innovator that powered Wall Street
and other parts of corporate America with computers and
operating system software. Now the company has the challenge
of convincing customers that it has not grown lazy and
ineffective in middle age and that it remains relevant in a
rapidly changing industry.

7. Airbus Sees Mobile Phone Use on Planes in 2006
>From Reuters (Topic: Mobility), Sept. 15:
European planemaker Airbus reported progress on Wednesday in
plans to allow passengers to use mobile phones in flight,
beginning in 2006.

8. Job Woes Plague High Tech
>From Wired.com (Topic: Staffing), Sept. 14:
The U.S. information tech sector lost 403,300 jobs between
March 2001 and this past April, and the market for tech
workers remains bleak, according to a new report.
Perhaps more surprising, just over half of those jobs --
206,300 -- were lost after experts declared the recession
over in November 2001, say the researchers from the
University of Illinois-Chicago.
